Kumārajīva said: "In the language of Qin, it means 'human-yet-non-human'; they resemble humans but have horns on their heads. When humans see them, they say: 'A human? Or a non-human?' Hence they are named after this. They are also heavenly musician spirits, slightly inferior to the gandharvas." Newly called "spirits of song"; they are the deities of string and wind music among the gods. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.52) - [Next: 2.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.54) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131~en-mt.2.53) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [注維摩詰經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.224) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.2.53) · Pramāṇa
